After this amoint of time hes been playing football, why can he read the line and make cuts through the open hole. He doesnt know how to do that yet, hes not going to. Pacheco is the #1 RB.

Before we all emotionally blood-in / blood-out the guy, we don’t know “why” he wasn’t there. It’s okay to wait for more info before lighting his ass up.

Ya I'm not worried about why he wasn't at the parade. He was laughing it up with the boys on the sideline during the game.

He's still gone though.

It can't be more than 3..ish?

The @Buffalo game in 2020 was his high water mark-- over 160 yards rushing, and I foolishly thought he was going to be something special.

*cue the wet fart sound effect*

Little different circumstances. Melvin Gordon has no reason whatsoever to feel slighted by the Chiefs. I can understand why CEH would be annoyed.

I cannot understand why he'd choose to be bitter, though. That's some hoe shit.

He had a 50ish yarder late in the first Chargers game, IIRC. That has to be his career long.

I could have run for 125 with those holes.

He is a bust. Time to move on. His version is terrible and his ability to shed blockers or outrun defenders is non-existent.

Bye Clyde. Don't let the football hit you on the way out.

Watch him go to Cincinnati and pair up with Burrow and Chase. It's looking like they will cut Mixon and could use a RB and CEH shouldn't be too expensive.

They would have to trade for him then because it's not cost effective for the Chiefs to cut him.

It is what it is. Simply put, Pacheco outplayed him and was more deserving to play. McKinnon was a captain and by far and away the better overall player than CEH. Not sure who CEH would have taken carries away from.

This is really shocking to me. At the very least I thought Clyde was a team player, but I guess he's just a spoiled bitch. And he sucks.

Good riddance, MEH.

Burrow loves him so I could see it.

Guys are team players to a degree, a 1st round pick that was a starter on probably the most talented offense in the history of college football that won a national title, losing his job to a 7th rounder from Rutgers hurts egos.

That would be messed up if KC can't find a trade partner for him. Does he have a future in this offense at least next year? If it's more expensive to cut him then trade him I wonder how Veach deals with this.

I think the answer would be pretty simple if they dont find a trade partner for him. He simply takes up Jones' spot, the guy that wanted to be traded at the deadline and ended up with a ring.

Yeah, if Veach can't unload him on someone else...then right now he's #2 on the depth chart at best. That's if they don't bring back McKinnon. If McKinnon is back...then he's #3.

I fully expect another draft pick at RB. Clyde beyond having pussy face at the moment literally can not stay healthy.

Disappointing pick. I don't know if it was the injuries or what, but it just didn't happen for him. His skillset coming out of college sure looked perfect for this offense. Bummer.

Well, bye.

Do we know for sure that he was in NY expressly because he didn't want to be at the parade? It seems really hard for me to believe that even if you had a bruised ego about being made inactive for the SB that you wouldn't be at the parade with the team that you're under contract with for the next season because of said hard feelings. That would seem like something that would pretty clearly alienate you in the lockerroom if there were any chance you remained with the team next season.

Clyde always seemed incredibly good-natured and friendly and the dude posted a SB champion photo on Monday. Kinda seems hard to believe that he's playing the role of malcontent by not being involved in the parade.

At the very least I'm not sure I'd take his absence entirely at fair value.

He's probably also heard they want to get rid of him...and they didn't activate him for the SB, so that causes butthurt.

I don't believe for a second he wasn't there because of a bruised ego.

There's clips of him on the sideline hamming it up with his teammates, celebrating with them etc.

If he wasn't butt-hurt pouting then, he's not gonna be butt-hurt pouting 3 days later.

I think they'll continue to work on the RB room.

I feel like it might be time to move on from Jet. Love the guy but he does look a little slower than last year and might have gotten himself a nice payday this season. If he came back at/near the minimum as an RB3 I'd love to have him, but I'm not eager to get much beyond that.

Pacheco - Pick - McKinnon would be fine. I haven't gotten into draft analysis yet but I think I'd want someone similar to McKinnon as RB2.

Is Ealy moving to WR? Or did they just have him working with WRs to get him more experience catching passes? He could be an interesting fit in that RB room if he stays there.

Does it really matter why at this point? Seems like he felt that was more important than being with his team mates celebrating.

Better than CEH....So is Swift

Everyone is better than CEH.

MEH

Meanwhile Melvin Gordon came to the parade with this energy.

https://i.imgflip.com/49vnt2.jpg

Eh he already acknowledged that he had nothing to do with it, so let him have a good time lol

That's the only way a guy can enter the season a Bronco and win a SB.

Oh I'm not knocking it. It's ****ing hilarious.

I loved how he was EVERYWHERE with the team

more of a team mate than CEH was at the end ROFL

wonder if he will be back next season and actually play a few snaps assuming he can fix the fumble issue

You think so? At his age? I kind of doubt it. And you've got to think that Mckinnon knows this is the absolutely perfect position for him to extend his career (hell, should've been over already).

I think they figure out a decent little raise and bring him back.

I wouldn't be upset taking a back in the 4th or 5th round.

Hell, Achane in the 3rd if he fell there woudln't upset me.

CEH has been a big disappointment and I have never been a fan even after his so called promising first year. His vision sucked to see a hole and make cuts but even more disappointing was catching the ball out of the backfield.

I will give him the benefit of doubt on his absence from the parade. This coaching staff has always held player's personal business close to the vest and rightfully so. I hope Clyde does explain though.

Pop is going to run for 1,200+ next year... RB isn't our issue. And honestly, my dream idea would be.

Let JuJu walk, Trade for Hopkins.

Hopkins > Toney > MVS > Sky would be damn near unstoppable.

We beef up on D-Line and 2ndary this draft. With some late round O-linemen I think.

I wonder what other picks Mahomes said he wanted that Veach overruled.

Veach asked Pat who he wanted and he said Clyde.

FWIW no one realistically could have seen him play this poorly. Only in retrospect was he a bad pick but at the time he brought a skill set to a team fresh off a SB win and with very few glaring weaknesses.

Dude, Veach didn't pick CEH because Mahomes wanted him. You're smarter than this lol

I wouldn't hate keeping him as the backup, if he's willing to serve in that role.

And to be honest, he played pretty well early in his first season. It was all downhill from there.

Veach did an interview after the draft where he says he asked Pat the day of the draft who he wanted and Pat chose Clyde. Obviously if someone Veach felt had more value fell to that spot, Clyde wouldn’t be the pick…but that’s what Veach said himself.

Yeah, he just never became what it was thought he would become. I honestly believe had he not been drafted in the 1st (even if it was with the #32 pick) he would not have faced as much flak for his performance.

But when Chiefs general manager Brett Veach texted star quarterback Patrick Mahomes shortly before the start of the 2020 NFL draft and asked which player the quarterback wanted the Chiefs to select, Mahomes' one-word reply was "Clyde."

And even if he had been drafted in the 4th round, he would have ended up in the same boat. A 7th round rookie took his job so ferociously that it pretty much ended CEH's role in KC.

Dude averages 4.4 YPC over his career. That's pretty solid. He was productive for a "bust".

17 TD's in 2.5 seasons. I mean, for a bust, we sure did get some production out of him.

He just wasn't special like we thought he'd be. He's average. But because he's not special we act like he's below average.

I expect he'll be on the roster come TC.

I'm aware. Per usual you're reading way too much into what is said at a PC.

Veach isn't drafting based on what Mahomes tells him.

Correct on all. But if he was a 4th rounder then no one would have really batted an eye that he lost out to Pacheco. It’s only because he was a 1st rounder that many people already hated that made it seem worse.

Oh I don't disagree with that at all.

All of this. He's a good back and catches the ball pretty well. I'd absolutely keep him for next season.

Nobody cares what those people think. If Beach thinks he makes the roster better, I imagine we'll keep him, Chief Fan be damned.

That injury he had against the Saints his rookie season permanently ****ed him, methinks.

Pacheeky > Clyde

Yep, I said the same thing earlier this season.

He just doesn’t have the body to regularly engage punishment like he does in the NFL. I believe he took injuries every season from contact he engaged. He never seemed to recover the burst he had before his injury against the Saints. It was there, watch his rookie debut against the Texans to see it.

It felt like he couldn’t reliably beat NFL linebackers to the hole after that first injury.

Agreed. He just hasn't been in the same since.

Problem 1: Brokedick
Problem 2: Lack of NFL vision
Problem 3: Didn't develop as a receiver

If he can't get past problem #1, he'll never get better at 2 and 3. And that's what we have. He's not quite 24 yet, so he could still go on to have some quality years but they won't be with KC.

They picked Rojo over him in the SB when he has been healthy and practicing for a month. I can't see him coming back and hope he doesn't.

Yep.

He won't be here next season.

Bank it.

Problem 4: Too Small
Problem 5: Too Slow

Because he usually danced instead of full speed when getting the ball.

Pacheco showed what it looks like.

He's still on his rookie contract which is bankable valuable but he didn't even come to the parade and went to a fashion show instead. You have to think the Chiefs communicated to him He's not going to be here next year

Can we light him up now? He skipped it to walk in a fashion show.

Honey Badger was #32 then. Nick Bolton is #32 now. Veach is good for April

Was my guess. Not like he was a bad dude or anything it just didn't work out.

Shame. but injuries and was not performing as well. Watch him get picked up by WASH.

I would guess he would head to Cincinatti to team up with his old college crew

Doubtful to see him go to Washington. Washington has a good stable of RB's.

Unless I am missing something he won't be a FA until 2024. His trade value is minimal so I would expect him to be here through the 2023 season.

In 2024.

What

He will be traded on or around Draft day for an additional pick or two. :thumb:

If anyone even wants him.

Correct.

The Raiders declined Josh Jacob's 5th year option as well and now regret it.

That clearly won't happen here but it's not like the guy is gonna vanish into thin air. He's likely on the team next year unless we can salvage something in a trade.

I find it doubtful. I think we would take any pick just to get him off of our books.

Different OC now, not saying that EB had anything against him but things might be different especially if he is healthy. I would doubt the Chiefs cut him especially if there is a trade for a future draft pick available. RB's always get hurt, so he'll get the Ronald Jones treatment next year, probably get showcased during camp for a trade.

Me channel Garrett Bolles. Soak spam in water untill tattoo skin come off. Still hurt teeth

Would love for him to get some production next year so the planet can bitch about him some more.

BISHON AT 31
